A Woman of the Other Battalion

Now that you are not singing among the trees,
the daylight picks up it flower and hides
the orgasm of pollen on the stone
and everything that is dry invades me.

Every being knows why the quartz
bangs its confused structure,
and its voice licks the reflected surface of light,
climbing in a suspension of abyss and trembling.

I remained silent, and I loved her.
She left crying and never returned.

Since then I sleep with the permanence of her eyes
beneath the lamp, and in the room
in the mournful night they light up
the delicate contour of my dreams.
